What
we saw |
Adept's presentation focused on the Phantom v640 and demonstrated
its successful and efficient cine capture at full resolution and
high speed 1500 fps.
A key feature of the v640 which was noticed and applauded by the
broadcast attendees is the v640's Dual
Flexible HD-SDI output . This allows for simultaneous
recording and playback. Ideal for super slo-mo sports applications
where the next high speed event can be captured while the previous
event is being played back and broadcast.
Also demonstrated was the new Remote Control Unit with wireless
option and touchscreen for full camera control. This product allows
DOP's full mobility and flexibility on set.
